Device manager shows 2 graphics adapters and 4 processor adapters. WTF?

Device manager shows four same A8-7410 processors and 2 display adapters - one "AMD Radeon R5 Graphics", and one "AMD Radeon R5 M330".

Why is this? Everything came built-in with the laptop + licensed windows 10.

That is correct.

Windows shows each processor core, and you have built in graphics on apu & separate graphics on the 330.

The link supplied by kingfish gives a basic explanation of use for the 2 graphics chips. Do a web search if you want more in depth info.

Same for 'cpu cores', web search has many basic/in depth articles.

It's called switchable graphics...you can google it.

And here's how it works:
